 4^ STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE, 
 
 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION OF FARMS 
 FOR SALE IN CONNECTICUT. 
 
 At the annual meeting of the Board held at Hartford, 
 January 20, 1892, the Secretary presented the subject of 
 " Abandoned Farms," stating that he had received numerous 
 applications for a list of such farms. 
 
 After discussion, it was 
 
 Voted, That the Secretary be instructed to collect and publish at 
 his discretion a list of farms for sale in the state. 
 
 In accord with this instruction, the following circular and 
 blank for replies were published and widely distributed : 
 
 , State of Connecticut, 
 
 Board of Agriculture. 
 
 FARMS FOR SALE IN CONNECTICUT. 
 
 Frequent inquiries have been received by me for lists of " aban- 
 doned farms " in Connecticut. While this name is a misnomer as 
 applicable to any considerable extent to any lands in Connecticut, 
 yet it is true that in most of the rural districts there are farms for 
 sale at very low prices, taking into account the buildings and other 
 improvements upon them; and to meet the Avants of those who 
 are looking for homes in Connecticut, and in the interest of those 
 who have farms to sell, the Board of Agriculture undertakes the work 
 of collecting and publishing a list of farms for sale in Connecticut, with 
 brief description and price. 
 
 To secure this list this circular is sent to officials of towns, agri- 
 cultural societies, farmers' clubs, granges, and private individuals, 
 with request to make pro.mpt return to me, by them or the owners, 
 on accompanj'ing blanks, of all farms for sale in their respective 
 townships. 
 
 No compensation is provided for furnishing this information, but 
 all interested in the welfare of Connecticut are invited to assist in 
 making the list as complete as possible. To all those replying to 
 this circular a copy of list will be sent as soon as published.

 West Cornwall, Conn. 
 
 The question of " abandoned farms " has been so widely 
 discussed that it has been hard for many persons to see that 
 it was not in that class of property alone that our interest 
 was enlisted. Some farms have been abandoned because, 
 from location or otherwise, they ought to be abandoned ; their 
 legitimate use was for growing wood and timber, rather than 
 for general farming. 
 
 The diversion of travel and the removal of small business 
 centers and small manufacturing industries have caused some 
 property once occupied to be no longer in demand. In other 
 cases the owners have preferred to let houses and lands remain 
 unoccupied — " abandoned " as far as occupancy is concerned — 
 rather than to be at the expense of repairs to fit the place for 
 a tenant, or even to persuade themselves to a sale to some 
 chance customer who might offer. 
 
 Our expressed opinion, that such cases arc rare of " aban- 
 doned farms " in Connecticut has been confirmed bv the re- 
 
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 5 
 
 ports returned to this office. Many read, " No abandoned 
 farms in this town " ; others, " No farms for sale in this town." 
 
 But, when we set aside these two classes — the " abandoned 
 farms " and the townships where there are none, or where 
 there are no farms for sale — we find that there are a large 
 number of farms in every degree of desirability and condi- 
 tion of culture and buildings which are for sale at very low 
 prices, in proportion to the cost of the buildings and fences, 
 expended even in a very few years. Death of the owner, cr 
 other family circumstances, place on the miarket much very 
 valuable property. There are in some sections small farms 
 very desirable as residences, where the owner used to follow 
 some trade, now removed to the village or city, gaining only 
 a part of his support from his farm. In some towns these 
 places, as they came on the market during the last fifty years — 
 for that period covers about the time of this change — ■ were 
 bought up and absorbed by the larger farms, used for pasturage 
 or the growth of wood ; in others they remain as separate hold- 
 ings, and are ofifered at very low prices. As Secretary of the 
 State Board, I wish it to be plainly understood that my con- 
 nection with the business will end when I have published and 
 distributed this list, and that intending purchasers must deal 
 directly with the owners, and not through this office. 
 
 We have undertaken this work because we believed that 
 many were seeking rural homes in Connecticut, and from 
 our strong faith that Connecticut offers to all such a climate 
 unsurpassed in healthfulness ; a soil of great variety and pro- 
 ductiveness, yielding to good culture " all manner of fruits " ; 
 in her hills and valleys most varied and attractive scenery ; 
 furnishing in her rocks study for the geologist, in her high- 
 ways and fields flowers for the botanist, or merely for the 
 admirers of these glories of nature, with field and forest full of 
 wild fruits and nuts in their season, while brook and lake fur- 
 nish sport for the angler ; facility of travel ; dotted with cities of 
 our own, and easy of access from all the great cities of the East ; 
 blessed with the purest air and water that heaven or earth 
 afif ords ; with mail, telegraph, and telephone reaching every 
 hamlet; with churches, schools, and libraries within easy 
 reach — what more shall we claim for Connecticut as the best 
 place to live in the whole United States? 
 
 The exact language of the descriptions has been retained,

 but necessarily abbreviated by the omission of '' about " as 
 applied to figures, and some details and reasons for selling. 
 
 Among the farms offered are some of the best in the State, 
 and the person looking- for a farm or country residence must 
 be hard to suit who cannot find a place adapted to his wants 
 among those which are here offered.

 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION OF " FARMS 
 FOR SALE." 
 
 The first edition is nearly exhausted, and a very large number 
 of the farms registered in the list of 1892 have found pur- 
 chasers. The truth of the statements there made of the con- 
 ditions and circumstances under which these farms are offered 
 for sale is confirmed by experience. Also the desire of the 
 people in the cities to secure a summer home of their own in 
 the country is very apparent from numerous letters of inquiry 
 in that direction. 
 
 Again we repeat with emphasis our previous statement that 
 Connecticut offers in its soil and climate, air and water, scenery, 
 wild or cultured, facilities of travel, where education, character, 
 and refined tastes are not confined to the few but are enjoyed by 
 the many — so that Connecticut is not surpassed by any other- 
 section of the country to live in. We complain of our climate. 
 It is not perpetual spring with the bursting buds and hopes of 
 May, or continual summer ; nor does the fruitage of autumn 
 always continue to fill our laps with a store of nuts and fruits — 
 yet the golden pumpkin yellows in the sun, a reminder of 
 thanksgiving — a feast so' adapted to the season of the year, 
 that the Yankee will keep it, even in distant and diverse climes. 
 Letters of inquiry from all New England seek the milder 
 climate of Connecticut. 
 
 We have just enough of winter to tone up our systems, to 
 give a taste of its pleasures and to prepare us for the activities of 
 spring. Though the weather is a perpetual source of com- 
 plaint, who would trust his most esteemed friend to control 
 
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 7 
 
 it? The succession of the seasons with varied heat and cold, 
 dust and mud, are essential elements of happiness. We should 
 tire of a life where there were no disappointments. If all fruits 
 were equally good and perfect, and dropped into our baskets, 
 where would be the delights of horticulture? Climbing hills 
 is tiresome, but the reward of the view at the hilltop is sure. 
 
 Those who have gone from Connecticut bear in affectionate 
 remembrance these scenes of their youth. To others we say, 
 in the language of one of our correspondents, " Come and see 
 for yourself." The pure water from our gushing springs 
 continues to flow as refreshing as ever. 
 
 I preserved the applications for the " List of Farms " for a 
 considerable period that I might know whence they came. 
 
 Of course, they were most numerous from Connecticut, but 
 New York numbered 231, Massachusetts, 121, while almost 
 every state in the Union, with Canada and the Bermudas, called 
 for lesser numbers, from Maine to Florida, and West to 
 California. The wanderers wish to return. 
 
 EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENCE. 
 
 North Carolina: " I wish to locate in the North, and establish 
 a permanent home, and embark in the cattle business to raise fat 
 beeves for the market. Would prefer to be right on the coast or in a 
 tp mountain section." 
 
 Maryland: "I wish for a small farm, land of not so much con- 
 sequence; four or five acres would do. I want to start in chicken rais- 
 ing (mother and daughter), not too far from town, and price reason- 
 able. Connecticut is .my native state, and I have always cherished 
 a love for her, although she is stony and hilly. 
 
 Massachusetts: " I have in mind to change my location, and pur- 
 chase a farm somewhere in your state. I want a farm adapted to 
 milk production, and also good orchard land, as I purpose to set a 
 large winter apple orchard, with some pears, plums, and peaches. 
 Healthy location, moderate elevation, pure water, and within moderate 
 distance of market or railroad, schools, churches, etc., required." 
 
 Michigan: " I have been in Connecticut and like it very well " — 
 has a good farm of 80 acres — and " would like to exchange for one 
 in Connecticut." 
 
 Bermuda Island: "What I want is a summer home for about 
 three months, July, August, and September, in a picturesque part of 
 Connecticut." 
 
 Long Island : "If you know of any low-priced farms not occupied I 
 would like to know of them." 
 
8 FARMS FOR SALE. 
 
 New York City: " Is looking for a small farm in a good 
 location for the purpose of engaging in fruit culture." 
 
 Wisconsin: "I intend to go back to New England next fall and buy a 
 small farm. I formerly lived in Vermont." 
 
 Michigan: " Please send me your list of farms in Connecticut, 
 as I am thinking of locating somewhere in the East. I also have two 
 friends who are thinking of making a change." 
 
 Ohio: "Now I am desirous of going East on account of the 
 markets. And as I have a fine herd of A. J. C. C, have thought best 
 to write you, and if you have a catalogue of farms please mail me one." . 
 
 Pennsylvania: Wants to get a farm in Connecticut to raise 
 poultrj^, fruit, and vegetables. " If we go to Stonington, what do you 
 think it will cost us to take a team, cow, a few tools, wagon, buggy, 
 cutter, and just enough household goods with two little children 
 to get along with? We haven't sold out yet, but expect to soon. We 
 want to get a place we can pay for in a little while. We're poor on 
 account of sickness." 
 
 New York City: " Both my wife and myself have an idea of 
 buying from 50 to loo acres where a decent income can be derived 
 from poultry and the raising of vegetables. Any way, my health will 
 not stand very much more confinement in an office." 
 
 Chicago, III. : " Being desirous of locating on a farm before long, 
 and hearing that such lands can be bought as cheap as in the West, 
 I ask you for your Catalogue of Farms for Sale." 
 
 California: "As I am desirous of removing to a cooler locality, 
 I shall be greatly obliged if you will send me a list of the different farms 
 you have for sale." 
 
 Boston, Massachusetts: "As an artist, I ask your advice about 
 the best location, where scenery is the finest, viz. : fine, old trees, 
 by brooks, or stream, or lake, or meadows, where a landscape painter 
 could find plenty of material and a pleasant home — not too far from 
 Boston, free from malaria and fevers." 
 
 Toronto, Ont. : " I am looking for an abandoned farm somewhere 
 in New England. I want 25 to 50 acres — perhaps between New 
 Haven and Stonington, with some — even if very little — of the land on 
 the shore. I prefer not to be near a town." 
 
 Washington, D. C. : "I am a Yankee, bred and born on a 
 farm, and have always thought I should like to end my days on one — 
 a farm in the country. I have only a part of a month for a vacation 
 this year; but if you will send me a copy of your pamphlet I think I 
 will take my vacation in a tramp through Connecticut with a view to 
 purchasing some old place, farm, or homestead, if I can find one to suit 
 mc."

NOTE. 6l 
 
 Note. — Statistics of the condition and products of certain 
 branches of industry in Connecticut for the year ending Octo- 
 ber I, 1845, prepared from the returns of the assessors by 
 Daniel P. Tyler, Secretary of State. A volume of 242 pages 
 under the above title has recently come into my possession. 
 
 The changes that have taken place in the productive in- 
 dustries of Connecticut in this half century are very remarkable, 
 and are beyond the memory of most who are in active life. 
 The relative prices are as remarkable in many cases as the 
 quantities produced. 
 
 While I cannot here attempt even a summary of these 
 changes, I note a few. 
 
 Sheep husbandry has suffered the greatest decline in agri- 
 culture. In 1845, Litchfield County, alone, is credited with 
 88,741, nearly three times the number at present in the whole 
 state. 
 
 Cheese-making has yielded to the demand for market 
 milk. 
 
 A more notable change has taken place in our manufactures. 
 Then they were very evenly distribued over the state. Change 
 in methods of transportation have caused the rural districts 
 not provided with -these facilities to be deserted by them, to 
 become more strictly rural. In manufactures this is most 
 evident in tanneries, which were then very numerous in all 
 parts of the state, 187 in all, Litchfield County having 49, and 
 one of buckskin. These maintained a demand for hides, giving 
 full market price, or even more in some localities. In this 
 connection, the item of bark furnished employment at certain 
 seasons for a large number of men, and a considerable revenue 
 to the landowner. 
 
 I am not aware that there has been any effort to collect 
 these statistics since 1845. These were necessarily somewhat 
 imperfect. Few towns report any poultry. Apples were 
 almost the only fruit reported, and these were usually prized at 
 ten cents a bushel, showing the cider-mill as their destiny. 
 
 The general cause of these changes, affecting the population, 
 gathering them intO' cities and villages, at the loss to the rural 
 districts, is very apparent. To give in detail those affecting 
 each particular town or district, or any individual industry, 
 will exceed my present purpose, but with the design of pre- 
 paring a more complete review of the case, I would like to 
 have any one who remembers back 50 years or more, or young

 persons interested, to give me disappearance or growth of any 
 particular industry, agricultural or manufacturing, that I may 
 have something besides my personal observations. Any 
 communications on this question will be thankfully received, 
 and help to solve the much-agitated question of so-called 
 " Abandoned Farms."

 Stands on a hill in Cornwall 1,300 feet above sea level, where it has withstood the blasts of a hundred 
 
 years since it arrived at maturity. 
 
 I am very desirous to make a list with description and cuts of re- 
 markable trees in Connecticut, forest or fruit trees, and I solicit from all 
 parts of the State notices of trees remarkable for size or productiveness 
 or quality of fruit or nuts, or of historic or memorial trees, in country or 
 city. Negatives are better than photos to make plates for illustrations. 
 
 Please send in your notes to make the list as complete as possible. 
 Connecticut is full of such trees.
